The
Coast Guard Auxiliary needs a few good men and women like you.
As an Auxiliarist, you will
have the opportunity to select and participate in one or more
of the Auxiliary's major programs. If you feel strongly about
the rewards you can get from serving your community, the Coast
Guard Auxiliary is the right place for you! Either through on-water operations, the Auxiliary's public education program,
vessel safety check program, radio watchstanding, marine
environmental protection or Coast Guard support.
Increase your skills.
The Auxiliary and the Coast Guard provide specialized training
on all aspects of boating, as well as leadership and
administration. Auxiliarists receive valuable training in
seamanship and related skills, and enjoy the sense of
confidence of knowing that they are better, safer boaters.
Support the Coast Guard.
Auxiliarists provide direct operational
and administrative support to our many local Coast Guard
units. You can wear the Coast Guard Auxiliary uniform and
become part of the Coast Guard Forces. When you qualify
through training, you can take part in search-and-rescue (SAR)
operations, stand radio watch at a Coast Guard station or
work with a marine safety office on pollution matters.
Service to your community.
Auxiliarists aren't paid with money, but with satisfaction. We
furnish and maintain
our own equipment and can choose to participate at a level
tailored to our individual capabilities. We provide boating
safety classes for youth and adults, examine recreational
vessel for safety equipment to ensure that they will be safe
on the waterways and assist the Coast Guard in improving
marine environmental quality.
